The Pertronix 2541 Ignitor is a points-to-electronic ignition conversion kit for Jeep and Willys four-cylinder engines using the Autolite or Prestolite distributor. It replaces the breaker points and condenser with a self-contained magnetic-trigger module for reliable starting and a stronger spark, with nothing to wear or re-gap. The kit runs on a 12-volt negative-ground system and installs inside the original distributor.

FAQ
What does the Pertronix 2541 Ignitor kit do?
It converts the original breaker-point ignition to electronic. The Ignitor replaces the points and condenser inside the existing distributor with a self-contained magnetic-trigger module, so the engine starts more reliably, holds timing better, and needs no points to clean, gap or replace.
What does the Pertronix 2541 fit?
It is designed for Autolite / Prestolite 4-cylinder distributor (Jeep, Willys). Fitment is determined by the distributor, so check your distributor against the Pertronix fitment list before ordering.
What electrical system does the 2541 require?
It is built for a 12 volt negative ground system. Confirm your vehicle matches this voltage and ground polarity, because Ignitor kits are voltage and ground specific.
Does the 2541 need any maintenance or a special coil?
No routine maintenance is required once installed, and there are no points to re-gap. It works with the vehicle's existing coil or a compatible Pertronix Flame-Thrower coil that matches the system voltage.
